Sorry, I don't know what you mean.

Then what did you mean when you wrote about the insertion? >>

Though the discussion might be interesting to some users, I'm amazed how much effort is put into "fixing" something that ain't broken and could be achieved much easier, as I pointed out earlier. There are even threads here in the forum that discuss how to visually differentiate privileged TC instances from regular ones so that accidentally running programs as admin can be avoided. Sure, human beings are creatures of habit, but it's still fascinating, as Spock would likely say.

If you're talking about the second instance, then this is not achieving what is required, but a bypass using roundabout and zigzag ways with the need to switch between windows, duplicate tabs and restore the history of directories, templates, masks, etc., not to mention the problems of duplicating autorun and selecting an instance when restoring from the notification area.
Users want to work with a single instance for a reason. For this purpose, the corresponding opening options were created.

I meant such a task manager or system utility that not only displays Elevated as "Yes" or "No", but also how the title bar of a Windows 11 Command prompt window does it:
Administrator: cmd (running as <machine\user> with restricted privileges)

I meant the following.
When a document is launched with inherited TC admin rights, simply pressing the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V works well and copy/paste selected text from/into that document.
But if I use programs with lower privileges and use not these simple key combinations, but the keyboard shortcuts of these programs that trigger internal actions of these programs, for example, copy the selected text, change its case to the opposite, and paste instead of the selected one - then nothing happens.

The second link I mentioned, mentions you can use Process Explorer to view the rights of a process by viewing the Security tab in the Process Properties dialog. Process Explorer also has the option to add the column "Windows Title" to the overview, which is what you want.

Thank you for the links again, I have read them and seen how to determine what rights a particular process has. But it is located so deep...
That's the point, I wouldn't even ask such a question if "Window Title" displayed this information, but it doesn't. Maybe it's because Process Explorer is running on Windows 10, not 11.

Sorry, I didn't read your post carefully enough. I thought you only wanted to show the window title in a task manager overview, sorry :oops:
Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to show in a task manager overview whether a process is running with restricted privileges.

I remembered. QTranslate has auto-replacement of selected text with translated. The question has been withdrawn.
